The Cure for Crushes

Here is the fabulous follow-up to bestseller The Healing Time of Hickeys. Haley Andromeda Harmony is now in her final months of high school and must face the inevitable question: What happens next? Finding the answer isn't easy. For one thing, having a real boyfriend is causing a strange reaction: Haley has crushes on nearly every other boy she meets. As well, her dad gets a job and starts dating, and Haley misses the life they had before he moved his Much Younger Girlfriend (MYG) into their ramshackle house. From bungee-jumping in winter to supporting best friend Jules at auditions for the TV show "Who's the Prettiest of Them All?," Haley's TGYML 2 ("the greatest year of my life, part two") has more than its fair share of mishap-filled adventures. Praise for The Healing Time of Hickeys, which was nominated for the CLA Young Adult Book of the Year: "This wickedly funny novel should come with the warning: Do not read in any public place where breaking out into gales of hysterical laughter may yield undesirable results." -Canadian Children's Book News "Readers will quickly grow attached to Rivers's hypochondriacal narrator." -Publishers Weekly
